or socio-economic class, we are all fundamentally the same.
We all desire happiness and avoid suffering.
Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones.
and joy when we achieve what we seek.
What is worse?
Failure to comprehend
or inability to do so
or simple stupid unwillingness?
Well, those are bad,
but I think maybe
that mindful dedicated
application of religion
is the worst of Worse!
Disguised in pretty robes
and preening in petite frocks
but there beneath the costume
naked greed bathing in legalism
and staring into the mirror
of pragmatic production
of self righteousness.
Opposite of Beauty, that!
Legalism.
Opposite of Beauty, this!
Greed.
Opposite of Life, there!
Pragmatism.
And those determiners
strangle souls
and injure the living
with their so called answers
and blind eye to suffering
and hard heart to longing.
What is worse?
Not knowing any better
and not knowing any worse.
